Test Results

Before reading this post, read the previous post if you haven’t done so already.

Reflux: Negative; he does not have it. The test went fine. Logan did really well. He laid on a table with an x-ray machine that the doc could move over him. The nurses and I kept him in position while I held the bottle for him to drink and the doc took pictures. On preliminary review when we were finished, the doc told me that everything looked good and all development looked good, that some came up only once and he couldn’t get it to happen again. That means he is fine in the reflux area. The nurse confirmed that today when she called after the doc did his extensive review of the pictures.

Lactose Intolerance: Test was positive, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he is lactose intolerant yet. They want to test it again in a few weeks. It could be an underdeveloped tolerance, which he could grow out of. So, the testing on this is still in progress. Meanwhile, I get to be lactose free! Basically, I can’t have anything that has lactose, whey or milk in it. I have never really looked at the ingredients of stuff I eat; it is a lot of work! That includes all dairy products and bread, unless specifically lactose free, plus a lot more stuff too. I got some lactose free milk; it isn’t that great and a lot more expensive, but at least I can have cereal with it.

In addition, Logan has come down with a cough/cold in the last day. Shaun was kind enough to share! Shaun has had a cough since Sunday and even had a fever Sunday-Tuesday. I really didn’t like how the cough was sounding on Logan mainly because he is so young, so we went to get him checked out today. He is fine, just needs to get over it. His lungs and everything were checked. So, hopefully he gets over it soon. Other than a little coughing and some congestion, Logan seems fine. He is eating and acting normal. Shaun still has a lingering cough, but is better.
